I will recommend

I was satisfied, nice room, clean, well fitted with mini bar and tv, safebox, large bathroom, the location has fantastic view over the city, helpful and friendly staff. But there is no hair dryer and the breakfast service need improving. One has to order the previous day, which is not always possible according to one’s activities

Great overnight stay

We booked this really last minute (while we were in Nairobi waiting for our connecting flight to Madagascar) The staff were really friendly, service great as the room only ÂŁ25 for the night. It was just a place for us to sleep before we headed south the next day but will use it again when we head back to the capital for our flight home

A good deal for accommodation in Antananarivo

Two night stay in a modern quiet and clean room with excellent sleeping conditions, effective free wift, safe parking space for the car, nice view on the city. Breakfast is OK without being exceptional: There maybe the need to give the client a choice on how he would prefer his scrambled eggs... A very good and far less expensive alternative to existing 4 stars hotels in Antananarivo if you have transportation to go out for meals.

to avoid

We arrived late at 10 pm to the hotel and our three rooms aren't available without reason. Never see the staff to fix this problem. We are moved to an other hotel at Relais des hautes Villes inside TWO rooms. Shame to this hotel. To avoid absolutely. Never apology from the manager. We require refund

Greit.

Vi var her i en natt pga mellomlanding(fly). Det var litt for langt unna flyplassen(spesielt nÄr det var trafikk da vi skulle tilbake til flyplassen og det var nasjonaldag). Vi ankom om natten sÄ personalet satt og ventet pÄ oss. Det var god service og de viste oss rommet vÄrt i kjelleren. Jeg var ganske lei av at man alltid fÄr et rom i kjelleren pÄ noen hoteller. PÄ morgenen Äpnet jeg gardinene og til min store overraskelse hadde vi utsikt over store deler av byen. Hotellet ligger pÄ en hÞyde langt oppover i byen. Frokosten dagen etter var ikke mer enn helt ok. En tÞrr loff med syltetÞy, en croissant og kaffe/te/juice. Vi fikk transport til flyplassen pÄ hotellet. SjÄfÞren kjÞrte som et svin og jeg var livredd.

Best buget hotel in Tana

The hotel is by far the best I've had in Madagascar and probably in top 10 budget hotels overall. I have had a 1 bedroom apartment with hotel service, both size and cleanness were superb. 2 things that were not perfect: 1. Hotel location is not very central and you will need a taxi to go back from the city center. Place is located on the hill. 2. Food in the hotel could have been better for the price. It was fresh, but not very tasty and didn't match the hotel's otherwise very high standard.

Hotel mit gutem Standard

Haute Ville erlaubt den RĂŒckzug von der sehr belebten, eher schmutzigen Stadt. Zimmer mit Sicht auf Stadt. Gleichzeitig ist die Avenue de L' IndĂ©pendance zu Fuss erreichbar fĂŒr die Mutigen, ansonsten eine kurze Fahrt im Taxi und man ist mitten im pulsierenden Leben der Stadt. Adema Navette bringt einem vom Flughafen in 1 1/2 h zum Hotel und man einiges von Tana gesehen.

VÀlskött hotell i relativt sett lugnt omrÄde

Hotellet Àr vÀlskött, rent och kÀnns sÀkert. Det finns dock ingen restaurang precis i nÀrheten. NÀrmaste restaurang ligger nÄgra hundra meter bort och det finns inga gatlysen precis som i övriga Antananarivo. HotellförestÄndarinnan trodde att det var sÀkert ute före kl 20. För transport nÄgra lÀngre strÀckor rekommenderas nog taxi kvÀllstid.

Safe and calm place close to the police station

The hotel is up close to the Rova (queen's palace) and very calm place. The location is great. Hotel proposes breakfast upon pre-ordering. However, for the cons, there is no Air Conditioner (or fan) which can be quite difficult to bear with during the hot season. Staff are nice and very helpful, just ask :-). I experienced for a couple of nights dogs barking at 4am at my window, but well... That's life :-). THe view was great over Antananarivo. The hotel does not provide lunch or dinner, but there are solutions for in-room delivery. I liked the business model which consists of residences offered to guests. After 5, apart from the guards, there will be no one to help, but that guarantees your tranquility as well as a guest. I did enjoy it as I came mainly to rest. Don't forget to book your taxi the day prior to your departure (critical if you have a late night flight) at latest as taxis can be scarce there.

Comfortable & well-furnished with nice views

We arrived in the middle of the night with some confusion about our reservation, as we booked through hotels.com, but the reservation said expedia. The rooms were nice & well-appointed. They appeared to have not been dusted in a while, hence the less than 5 rating on cleanliness & maintenance. The breakfast was not cheap, but very tasty. Considering what we needed, this hotel was an excellent value. We were desperate to find decent rooms at the last minute for visiting relatives & these were very satisfactory. I do wish the reservation had been clearer that we were sharing a bathroom, but it was still a good experience. I would stay there again.
